Family Fools

[Intro]
Boy, I tell you man, some people, man
Damn, boy you should all be ashamed of yourselves, man
Well, I don’t even know what to say
I don’t even know what to say
I don’t even know what to say, hey

[Verse 1]
Well Gramma done passed away, everybody grieving
Family gathered ‘round the house but ain’t nobody leaving
People lingering around, hovering like vultures
Tryna see what they can get and what Granny left over
See this the time to show respect, but it’s clear them children not
Already up in the room, going through her jewelry box
Going through the closet, gettin’ clothes, they done shook the spot
One of them done took the ring, the other one done took the watch
Unplugging the television that you ‘bout to go and sell
Been there since she bought the house, man that TV old as hell
Sad to say her kids was trifling, it was hard, man she tried
Two of ‘em was in their 40s, still livin’ there when she died
Now they arguing ‘bout the house and the life insurance cash
In three months all of ‘em broke, won’t nobody cut the grass
Gramma woulda been ashamed to see this with their greedy asses
Still lost the house ‘cause they was too stupid to pay the taxes

[Chorus]
Ain’t nothing but some family fools
Nothing but some family fools
Breaking all the family rules
If you guilty then you standing accused
Ain’t nothing but some family fools
Nothing but some family fools
Breaking all the family rules
If you guilty then you standing accused

[Verse 2]
Everybody was crying when Daddy laid it down
Now they all fighting and Daddy is barely in the ground
What he did for his family to make it was indisputable
But now these stupid fools is getting into it at the funeral
All that drama and stress, no wonder he dead
Plus everybody knew about that bread up under his bed
Brothers and sisters bickering, turning to enemies quick
Fussing ‘bout who helped him the most when he was struggling and sick
Roaching for everything, some people just have no chill
Now all hell is breaking loose ‘cause Daddy had no will
And Mama been gone but he had a girlfriend in his life
And now she beefing with the kids ‘cause she the common law wife
And it been years since one of the children and pops even spoke
And now he coming back trying to get some bread ‘cause he broke
And the daughter shady as hell, plus the youngest one smoke
Y’all never cared about that man, boy - this family’s a joke

[Chorus]
Ain’t nothing but some family fools
Nothing but some family fools
Breaking all the family rules
If you guilty then you standing accused
Ain’t nothing but some family fools
Nothing but some family fools
Breaking all the family rules
If you guilty then you standing accused

[Verse 3]
Mama still alive but she doesn’t have much longer
This the time where the family’s supposed to get stronger
Come together in a crisis and handle the obstacle
And make sure that her last days are happy as possible
But instead everybody’s greed got to be fed
Y’all standing over Mama, fussing ‘bout her hospital bed
You after everything she own before her casket is closed
Tryna make her sign some papers with some tubes in her nose
She being handled in a manner that she didn’t deserve
But it’s alright because she knew it so she threw ‘em a curve
She already had a will made, already on file
The bad seeds getting jealous of the one good child
And that’s the one who she left all possessions and cash
‘Cause if the others woulda got it, they’d of tricked it off fast
Don’t wanna build like your mother did, work and achieve
So when your time finally come, you won’t have nothing to leave
You know why?

[Chorus]
Ain’t nothing but some family fools
Nothing but some family fools
Breaking all the family rules
If you guilty then you standing accused
Ain’t nothing but some family fools
Nothing but some family fools
Breaking all the family rules
If you guilty then you standing accused
